Hi,
I'm using a setup like this:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nntp "news.epita.fr")
(nnmaildir "mymail" (directory "~/.mail/mymail/"))
(nntp "news.lrde.epita.fr"
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
(nntp-port-number 563)
(nntp-address "news.lrde.epita.fr"))
))
Two days ago the server news.lrde.epita.fr:563 was badly configured, and
would fail to initiate the TLS connection. During the startup of Gnus,
I would see a message like
> Warning: Opening nntp server on news.lrde.epita.fr... failed:>>>
> (gnutls-error nntpd<1> gnutls-e-invalid-session);
and then another one (that I have not kept) explaining that Gnus would
simply ignore this server and continue.
This is perfect: I'm told that something is wrong with one backend, but
I can still use the other ones.
Now, today, the TLS settings of news.lrde.epita.fr have been fixed,
however the authentication is still not working on this server.
When I start gnus, I see
> Opening nntp server on news.lrde.epita.fr...done
> Authorization Rejected
and then Gnus simply stops loading, leaving me with its nice logo to
contemplate. I had to comment out that server from
gnus-secondary-select-methods in order to read my mail.
It seems weird to me that the TLS error is handled as a warning,
but that the authentication error is a hard one. Would it be possible
to handle both error conditions similarly? (Preferably disabling
that server in both case.)
Thanks!
